Waste water project mooted in council plan

The District Council of Robe has prepared its draft annual business plan for public consultation.

A multi-million dollar upgrade to the town's waste water infrastructure has been budgeted in, as has more than $1 million for the projected completion of the town's marina.

Robe Mayor Peter Riseley says the $1.2 million waste water project will benefit community clubs.

"That will allow treatment of the water to a level of purification that allows it to be used on some of the sporting reserves, so that will mean that the football and the golf course will be able to utilise some of that water as well," he said.

"Sporting bodies have been dealing with the situation that their own bore water systems are becoming more saline, so they are very much looking forward to being able to tap into this better and more suitable water source for 'upkeeping' their greens and the lawns of the football ground."
